Take the case of pumpkin and its seeds that get tossed away in the garbage or backyard garden. Their health value is unmatched and they add excitement to food preparation.
Historically, pumpkin seeds were revered by native American Indians for nutritional and medicinal purposes. Pumpkin seeds are known for treating worms. They are rich in phosphorous, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc and copper. They also contain vitamins A, B1, B2 and B3.
Vegetarians find them useful in supplying protein, monounsaturated fats and phytosterols. Low in calories, a one-third cup of shelled pumpkin seeds contains about 90 calories, four grams of fat, four grams of protein and 11 grams of carbohydrates. Mexico has maximised the use of pumpkin seeds in cuisine.
Men’s sexual health
It is the zinc in pumpkin seeds that men find useful in protecting the prostate and other sex organs. The high levels of essential fatty acids, zinc and phytosterols have led to their prescription by nathropathics for prostate health, especially in treating benign prostate enlargement through the phytosterol, beta-sitosterol in pumpkin seed oil. In addition to maintaining prostate health, another reason for older men to make zinc-rich foods, such as pumpkin seeds, a regular part of their diet, is bone mineral density. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, there is a clear correlation between low dietary intake of zinc, low blood levels of the trace mineral, and osteoporosis at the hip and spine in older men.
